Colts vs. Texans Same Game Parlay Picks: Surging Texans Aim to Take Down AFC South Leaders

• The Texans have beaten the Colts on the road in three consecutive seasons.

• Jonathan Taylor has been limited to fewer than 80 rushing yards five times in 11 games.

• Dalton Schultz has had over 50 receiving yards in five of his last seven games.

Despite the Indianapolis Colts being one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season, the AFC South race is far from decided ahead of Week 13 when the Colts host the Houston Texans. After a sluggish start to the season, the Texans have won three in a row, pulling them within two games of the first-place Colts and one game of a Wild Card spot. That makes this one of the more compelling games on the Week 13 schedule, especially since the Texans have won their last three games in Indianapolis.

With the Colts losing last week, the division race is much tighter than it looked a few weeks ago. However, Indy remains the clear favorite to win the AFC South.

Texans +4.5 (-115) at Caesars Sportsbook

On the heels of a three-game winning streak, it’s best to back the Titans in this rivalry game. They are also 4-1-1 in head-to-head games against the Colts the last three seasons, including three road victories. The Houston defense is also among the best in the NFL, allowing 16.5 points per game on the season and less than 20 points in four of their last five games.

Given the strength of Houston’s defense, the Texans should be able to keep the game close. With C.J. Stroud set to return from a concussion, there is even more reason to believe in the Texans. Equally important, it’s hard to believe in the Colts after losing two of their last three games. Daniel Jones has come back to earth in recent weeks after his fast start to the season, making this a good time to fade Indy.

Jonathan Taylor Under Rushing 86.5 Yards (-113) at Caesars Sportsbook

As mentioned, the Texans have a top-notch defense. They’ve been particularly tough against the run this season, giving up just 92.2 rushing yards per game. With the way Jones has been playing lately, the Texans will likely put additional focus on stopping Taylor and the rushing attack, forcing Jones to beat them.

Of course, Taylor is also coming off a season-low 58 yards last week, as the Chiefs figured out how to slow him down. Despite leading the league in rushing, Taylor has been hit-and-miss this year. There have been five games this season in which he’s failed to reach 80 rushing yards. He’s not been a lock to put up big yards on the ground, so a strong Houston defense should be able to keep him under wraps.

Dalton Schultz Over 41.5 Receiving Yards (-114) at Caesars Sportsbook 

Last week’s one-catch performance aside, Schultz has been outstanding throughout October and November. He’s tallied over 50 receiving yards in five of his last seven games. For Schultz, it hasn’t mattered who starts at quarterback for the Texans; he’s been a key part of the offense.

In Week 13, Schultz has what appears to be a favorable matchup against the Colts. Not only has the Indy defense allowed the seventh-most passing yards this season, but the Colts also give up over 72 yards per game against opposing tight ends. In fact, a tight end has collected over 40 receiving yards against the Colts in five of their last six games. That makes him a safe bet to have a big game against Indy this week.
